ABSTRACT

Metro stations, as the distribution center for metro passengers, queuing and congestion are very serious during peak commuting hours or when there is a sudden influx of passengers. Based on the example of Yuzhi Road Station of Beijing Metro Line 8, this paper analyzes the characteristics of passenger flow distributed in the station, using Anylogic to simulate the behavior of pedestrians and trains in and out of metro stations, the data of security queues and the average speed of pedestrians are calculated to analyze the rationality of the design of metro stations, and to propose the optimization of the number and speed of the security queues, and to check the optimization effect through modeling simulation and data statistics to provide reference for the operation management of metro stations and to avoid pedestrian congestion. Using Anylogic software to simulate the behavior of pedestrians and the entry and exit of trains in the subway station, the data of security queues and the average speed of pedestrians are calculated to analyze the rationality of the design of metro stations, and to propose the optimization of the number and speed of the security queues, and to check the optimization effect through modeling simulation and data statistics to provide reference for the operation management of metro stations.
